Can you remember one of your earliest interactions online?

I started when I was 19 on AOL, with instant messages and chatrooms.

I remember my friend Halina showing me how it worked on her account. An IM pops up, this guy says, "So what do you like to do?" She looks at me, I reach over and type, "Number 2."

We both laughed. Still makes me chuckle to think about.

I was gonna start talking about floppy disks, but then I reread "interactions online." I started going online regularly when I was twelve or thirteen. I went to RuneScape, MySpace, this webcam website, chat rooms, etc. I got such a rush from it. I knew what I was doing was wrong. I wasn't supposed to chat with strangers. I wasn't supposed to tell them anything. I would only tell them my name. Crazy to think of all the shit I was exposed to as a kid...
